Privatzone Handy – Wie weit darf elterliche Kontrolle gehen?

Privatzone Handy - Wie weit darf elterliche Kontrolle gehen? | medienbewusst.de - kinder. medien. kompetenz.About 92 percent of all jung adults and kids allready possess their own cellphone. So they are always available for their friends, classmates and of course their parents.

A cellphone in a child’s hand for many parents means a sureplus in security. If they missed the bus or just forgot the time in playing — parents may locate their children at any time. For the emergency case there is piCOS – Der Handyorter. With the help of piCOS parents may see where a child is – without doing a phone call.

Children – under German law – have to be informed that a parent is using a cell-tracking service. PiCOS is not about survaillance, but rather a tool for the case of an emergency. From the tiny bycicle accident up to a missing case.
